At this time, Gao Yihuan sat down at the table, and the guards scattered and found a place to sit.

Although the Western Wei State adopted various measures to reduce the increase in the cost of living caused by the rapid population surge, the increase in the amount of money in the city and the rise in prices caused by the lack of materials could not be suppressed back to normal levels at once.

The second floor of the wine shop, in the small town in the south of the Yangtze River, is considered shabby, but here it is considered high-end.

Because the second floor has to pay a little more than the first floor, most people are on the first floor, and only those who are richer eat on the second floor.

Now there are still many empty tables on the second floor, and the scholars are talking about the things they care about, so the arrival of Gao Yihuan and his group did not attract anyone's attention.

Some people glanced at Gao Yihuan, and when they saw him doing a pie, they thought that it was someone's gentleman, and they glanced at it with disdain, and then continued to talk with their companions.

At this time, Gao Yihuan and the others sat down, Xiao Er brought a plate of melon seeds, brought them tea, and went down to let the kitchen go to Cai.

Gao Yihuan grabbed a handful of melon seeds in his hand, but his ears listened to the group of Jiangnan scholars next to him, but this hearing made him a little surprised.

Just after hearing what the soldier called "Brother Bijiang", Gao Yihuan felt a little familiar, as if he had heard this name somewhere.

Now that I listened carefully, I remembered that there seemed to be a fourth son at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and one of them was not called Mao Xiang, and the word was not divided? Dong Xiaowan, one of the eight Yan, seems to have been married by him.

At this time, Mao Bijiang smiled and said to his fellow tablemates, "Brothers, let me introduce to you, this is Chen Zhenhui from Yixing, whose character is Dingsheng, and has participated in Wu Yingji's drafting of "Staying in the Capital to Prevent Chaos". ”

This Chen Zhenhui is actually one of the four sons, but his affairs are a little less, and Gao Yihuan has never heard of it.

Chen Zhenhui waved her hand, unwilling to mention the past, and asked with a smile: "Why did Brother Bijiang come to Xi'an?" ”

Mao Xiang's face was a little embarrassed, "Ten years of cold windows, I have to find a place to show my knowledge." The Western Wei Dynasty is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and Nanjing can't use me, so let's go to Xi'an to give it a try. ”

Liang Yizhang saw that Gao Yihuan listened seriously, and whispered: "Now in Nanjing, the Donglin Party has lost power, and the people who have restored the society have been implicated and expelled from the imperial court. This Mao Bijiang and Chen Dingsheng are both from the Fushe Society, and they must have been excluded and could not seek an official position in Nanjing, so they came to Xi'an to participate in our imperial examination in the Western Wei Dynasty. ”

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, and said in his heart that this world is really wonderful, a few years ago, the Donglin Party people embarrassed him everywhere, and now he actually came over to participate in the imperial examination of the Western Wei Dynasty, which is really big-hearted.

At this time, Mao Xiang looked at Chen Zhenhui and asked, "Brother Dingsheng, why did you come to Xi'an?" ”

"I came here to participate in the imperial examination of the Western Wei Dynasty, and I will stay in the Western Wei Dynasty in the future." Chen Zhenhui is much more open than Mao Bijiang, and he has come here, so he doesn't need any Western Wei Dynasty as a fig leaf for the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone knows the identity of this vassal, and they don't know when it will be removed, and when the time comes, the Western Wei will become a great Wei, and the fame of the Western Wei will be examined, and he will become a big official, so can he not do it?

After Chen Zhenhui finished speaking, she looked at a few people on the table: "Brother Bijiang, a few brothers, you are honest, how do you feel about coming to Western Wei?" ”

Everyone is a scholar and understands what Chen Zhenhui means, but Confucian education always makes them a little entangled in their hearts.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Western Wei regime has great potential, and being an official in the Western Wei Dynasty is a very promising thing.

It is precisely because of this that so many scholars from the areas controlled by the Ming Dynasty also came to Xi'an to participate in the exam.

It's just that scholars are entangled, they want to make a name for themselves in the Western Wei Dynasty, but they want to save face, and they don't want to admit it easily, they just can't meet the requirements in the Confucian classics, and they like to be duplicitous hypocrites.

Mao Bijiang said: "The Western Wei soldiers are strong and strong, and the people are happy, which is very good, but it's just ~"

"It's just that if it goes on like this, it will inevitably break with Nanjing in the end." Chen Zhenhui said: "If you came early, you should have seen the ceremony in the eastern suburbs a few days ago." That momentum, Nanjing does not have, I think that the one who drives out the Tartars and determines the Central Plains must be the Western Wei Kingdom. For thousands of years, dynastic changes have been common, and the key is the longevity of Hanzuo. Now is the time when the Western Wei Dynasty needs talents, and it is also a good opportunity for us to show our ambitions. ”

Gao Yihuan listened to their conversation, and he roughly understood the psychology of these readers, which made him a little surprised.

Previously, Gao Yihuan was just a reckless man in the hearts of scholars, and he was Li Chuang's remnant, but now with his title of Wang Jianfan, the minds of many scholars have become active, and they have begun to include him in the forces that can take refuge.

Of course, this is only a part of the people, and a large part of the scholars who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty are all supporting Zhu Cihong in Nanjing, and he hated that he was killed by thunder, so that Zhu Cihong could take over his inheritance.

At this time, Xiao Er came up with a plate and put six dishes on Gao Yihuan's table, chicken, duck and fish are all hard dishes.

Gao Yihuan listened while eating, and the words of a few scholars with Huguang accents talking at a nearby table also came into his ears.

"The Donglin Party has always been at odds with our Western Wei Dynasty, and when they come to us to participate in the imperial examination, won't they want to take up our quota?"

"These social parties in Jiangnan like to form parties for personal gain, and on the surface they speak for the people, but in fact they do things for the powerful. If they master the feudal mansion, it will definitely not be my luck in Western Wei! ”

Gao Yihuan's chopsticks froze, and he muttered: "Speak for the people and do things for the powerful." Incisive! It's a talent! ”

Gao Yihuan couldn't help but turn his head, and saw a scholar in his thirties, who was talking to his tablemates, to contact the Western Wei Dynasty to submit a letter to the feudal government, and to boycott the scholars in Jiangnan to take the exam.

Gao Yihuan frowned, and suddenly understood a little bit that in China's thousands of years of political struggle, why the civil official group can stand out and become the emperor's tool to govern the world, but it is not the clan, the military generals and relatives, it is probably the first in the civil family, looking down on each other, too fond of infighting, and the emperor with a little level can achieve checks and balances between civil and official, and there is no need to worry about them rebelling.

This hand, the most slippery thing to play is Jiajing, using Xia Yan to fight Zhang Xuan, and using Yan Song to fight Xia Yan, and then using Xu Jie to fight Yan Song, and then to fight Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng to fight high arch, in short, help one up, and immediately arrange another one to check and balance, check and balance the minister's wrist, which is really rare in all dynasties.

Of course, if he does this, the throne is stable, and he is at ease, but the vitality of the entire country has also been consumed in the infighting.

At this time, Liang Yizhang whispered again: "On the occasion of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, virtuous people wandered among the princes, Wu Qi strengthened Wei and supported Chu, and Shang Jun entered Qin to lay the foundation of strong Qin. If the king wants to achieve hegemony, he must absorb talents from all over the world. These scholars just don't want to be robbed of their places by the lifters from Jiangnan, so they hate them so much! ”

Li Yan whispered: "However, Jiangnan culture is prosperous, there are many scholars, and the scholars in Guanzhong and Huguang really can't test them." If there are too many officials from Jiangnan in our Western Wei Kingdom, the policy will inevitably deviate in the future, which is not conducive to the administration of the feudal government. ”

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, "This is indeed a problem. Orphans should not only absorb talents, but also consider the actual national conditions. Is there a way for you to control the proportion of Jiangnan scholars? ”

Liang Yizhang shook his head, "The imperial examination is about fairness, and before the results come out, no one knows whose paper it is, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to control." And if something happens, it is not advisable to discredit the feudal government. ”

Li Yan said: "You can try two lists, and gather foreign scholars together to make a more difficult question, but in this way, foreign scholars are afraid that they will feel unfair." ”

Gao Yihuan frowned, but at this time, Chen Mingxia smiled and whispered, "I don't think there is so much trouble, the trial will be carried out as usual, isn't there a palace test later?" When the king re-ranks the king, he will advance the ranking of our scholars in the Western Wei Dynasty and put the ranking of the scholars in Jiangnan back, won't it indirectly solve this problem? ”

Gao Yihuan glanced at Chen Mingxia, Li Yan and Liang Yizhang were more upright, so there were more bad ideas.

Gao Yihuan nodded immediately, put down his chopsticks, "Let's go!" Let's go back and discuss it in detail! ”

At this time, Lu Yifang called Xiao Er, lost a silver coin and more than a dozen copper coins to settle the bill, and left the wine shop with Gao Yihuan.

On the way, Gao Yihuan remembered something and asked Lu Yifang: "By the way, has the banknotes of Qianzhuang been sent out?" ”

Lu Yifang replied helplessly: "If you only send out 500,000, you won't be able to send it." Now the value of paper banknotes has been cut in half, and one or two silver bills are only worth 500 wen on the market. ”

"Didn't the Lone King say that it could be exchanged at any time? How can there be such a thing? Gao Yihuan was stunned.
